Today is the day we commemorate the birth of a beautiful woman. I refer to her as SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed). Her eldest daughter refers to her as The M (The Mother). She answers to Judy. Or Judith, her given name. Around the house I call her Honey or Dearie. I used to call her JG, which are her given initials for Judith Gayle. But I used to joke that they stood for Judy Girl.
All in all, through thick and thin, as the saying goes, she's been by my side for . . . a few years. More than I can believe some times.
My dad really liked her.
And so do I.
Happy Birthday to my wife.

She's a good one. I think I'll keep her.

Nice composite of Judy through the ages! Your birthdays are close together! Happy Birthday Judy. Live long and prosper!
Happy Birthday SWMBO!
She is indeed a great woman. Beautiful, elegant, talented and especially sainted for her years of enduring your brand of gusto and madness! As we have said before, you guys are our inspiration.
A beautiful woman at any age. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Judy. Bruce, you often mention BRD as the older daughter, but nary a word about the youngest. My apologies if it is a forbidden subject.
She lives in Oregon and does not communicate.
Happy birthday to the fabulous SWMBO! We know she's fabulous because she hangs out with you :)
Continued long life and happiness!
Happy Birthday SWMBO! (Boy, Bruce, did you ever "marry up"! Lucky man. :)
Happy Birthday! Great celebratory post!

Happy birthday to Judy and congratulations to you both for still being a happy couple - a lot of of obeying, loving and honoring on both sides, right?
Great set of portraits. Happy birthday SWMBO!
